I'm not familiar with CIBC and its branch strategy, but Wells Fargo isn't the first bank to talk about it's "branch of the future" strategy. With over 9,000 branches, I wonder how long it is going to take Wells Fargo to start to expand this strategy?

The branch looks modern but also inviting, despite the tech-heavy design. I would feel comfortable walking into one of these branches to talk to an associate. Even more appealing (at least to me) is the greener initiatives the bank is taking for its back-office processes.
